I'm sorry honey, but you just couldn't act
I'm sorry Ha Min, but acting is not for you. There were moments where you might have accidentally portrayed the correct emotion for a scene, but the rest of the time... stick to kpop. Thanks for the attempt. Actually, no. Next time, can you let someone else do it? We still love you!
Casting directors? I swear we're not watching BL because there's a chance a kpop star is in it. Actually, quite the opposite for me. I want good acting and good storylines, and I don't want to worry about the actors. I don't want to worry they were pressured into it, and I don't want to worry about any negative backlash from fans or non-fans - whether it's about their acting abilities or just for being in a BL at all. I just want them to be safe and happy.
It's sad because the rest of the cast's acting was really good! Especially the main character's. It looks like this was his first role, too (the reason why I didn't give acting a 1. Sorry again Ha Min).
The story could have been good also, but it was surprising how much Ha Min's lack of acting left me unsure of the plot. What reaction did __ provoke? Shouldn't he be jealous? Is that a smile or a frown? Is he friends with __ or is he not? Just the show's summary was enough to get me through the show. I knew what he should have been feeling there, and could add my own context if I stopped the show and thought about it at other points...(though the teacher made me feel slimy. You shouldn't touch a student that much OR INVITE HIM TO A CAFE even if he is your favorite student. It felt like he was encouraging or basking in the main character's affection.)
